Application filed January 80, 1926. serial No. 84,904.

This invention relates to a method of striping and an apparatus therefor.

The invention is particularly concerned with striping on surfaces having the well 5 known Duco finish; its use on vehicles 18 at present contemplated although its field of usefulness is obviously not sorestricted. Some difliculty has arisen in striping surfaces having the quick drying Duco finish. l Striping with Duco cannot be done satisfactorily by hand with a brush because of the characteristics of the material, and, when hand striping with paint is used the final Duco polishing treatment removes the painted stripes. It is an object of this invention to make a permanent Duco stripe .by spraying with the aid of a template. Striping in this way may be done In less time than the former striping by a brush and '20 does not requireskilled labor. The results also are permanent.

Various types of apparatus may be used,

de ending upon the surface to be striped.

igure lshows a wheel having a striping 2 template thereon. Figure 2 is a section on line 8--8 of Figure 1. Figure 3 represents.

a modified form for producing a stripe upon a disk wheel. It shows an apparatus in s de elevation carrying the wheel and the striping so template. Figure 4 is a plan view of the a paratus. Figure 5 is an enlarged plan view looking at the bottom ofthe template, parts being shown in section.

Figures 1 and 2 show one method of strip- 36 ing adisk wheel. In these figures is a template applied to the surface of the wheel.

This template is composed of an outer ring member 16 and an inner ring member 17 be-- ing a circular slot 20 between the two ring members.

plat-form 20. This platform comprises a vertical standard 21 and an angular plate 22. These two lates are bolted together at their upper en s as at 23, and their lower endsare arranged horizontally to rest on the floor. Adjacent the lower end of part 22 is an angular bracket 25. Its shorter leg is bolted to the lower end of part 22 by fastening means 26. 27 represents another bracket secured to the upper end of part 22,

axis. It is through this slot 34 that the spraying instrument 9 operates to stripe the wheel as will be readily understood. For the proper uidance of the wheel in its rotation beneat the template a frame member 42 is carried at the outer ends of part 31'. Centrally secured to this member 42 ,is a U shaped member 35 carrying a roller ivoted on the pin 37 for engaging the whee in its rotation. For yielding by holding member 42 in position on part 31' a ball 39 is located in an op'enin 38 at each end of the part 42. This ball is Iield in a groove in a part 31' by the pressure of a spring 41. The spring 41 is held in position by a cotter pin 40 or similar means as shown in Figure 5.

I claim:

1. A frame, means secured to theframe forrotatably mounting a wheel,an angular bracket mounted on t e frame, mechanism carrying a template pivoted to the bracket to swing to a position over the wheel, a cross arm carried by the mechanism in advance of the template, the cross arm having a roller to engage the wheel, and a spring controlled means to detachably hold the cross arm on the mechanism. v y

' 2. A frame, means secured to said frame for rotatably mounting apiece of work, a

bracket on said frame, mechanism carrying work when the mechanism is tilted into opa template pivoted to said bracket to swing erative position.
